BuddyPress.org

not sure might require a plugin but for what it’s worth i already have a trac ticket for adding dynamic links for login/logout/register and i have added those to the ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5122

I was successful at doing this. You can read about the results here on the forum.

I would suggest starting this kind of thread on the “How to/troubleshooting” topic, not this thread since it’s all about showing off the finished product.

there are choices already selected even none of them is set as default, should I report this in buddypress trac

@cupid4 there was a trac ticket posted about same issue but was resolved last year https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4362

all the problems started since moving bp-default off the themes folder and putting it in buddyporess folder.

The bp-default theme folder should be left as is in the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ folder and not moved to wp-content/themes/ folder

@producist try reuploading BuddyPress manually i.e., via FTP.

BP 1.8.1 issue “widgets are no longer displayed on BuddyPress pages”

Specifically, which widgets are not showing up? BuddyPress widgets or WordPress default widgets or another plugin’s widgets?
What theme are you using?

Hi @Skeary,

There is no filter for bp_directory_groups_search_form(), You can change create a new custom function and replace the old call of bp_directory_groups_search_form by the new function.

function bp_custom_directory_groups_search_form() {

	$default_search_value = bp_get_search_default_text( 'groups' );
	$search_value         = !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ? stripslashes( $_REQUEST['s'] ) : $default_search_value; ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="search-groups-form">
		<label><input type="text" name="s" id="groups_search" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr( $search_value ) ?>" /></label>
		<input type="submit" id="groups_search_submit" name="groups_search_submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ) ?>" />
	</form>

<?php
}

The other solution is by javascript, you can change the text of the button by this code :

jQuery('#groups_search_submit).attr('value','Go');

Please don’t advise people not to upgrade, this is bad advise, BP releases often have bug fixes and security updates people should endeavour to keep on the most current release. BP releases are tested as extensively as possible and not released until stable under most conditions. Quite what has happened with your install is hard to quantify without examining things in detail.

One thing that I would advice is not jumping from 1.6 to 1.8 missing out 1.7 due to the changes in 1.7, whether that was the issue in your case is unknown though. What BP can’t do however is patch an issue until it can be replicated and proven as a bug, but if more occurrences like this are reported then it may be looked at in more depth.

Hi,
I’m not sure if it can help you but the following may resolve your problem :

function my_bp_nav_adder()
{
    bp_core_new_nav_item(
        array(
            'name' => __('New Tab Button', 'buddypress'),
            'slug' => 'all-conversations',
            'position' => 75,
            'show_for_displayed_user' => true,
            'screen_function' => 'all_conversations_link',
            'item_css_id' => 'all-conversations'
        ));
        print_r($wp_filter);
}
function all_conversations_link () {
    //add title and content here - last is to call the members plugin.php template
    add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title' );
    add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content' );
    bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
    echo 'My new Page Title';
}
function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {
    echo 'My Tab content here';

}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_bp_nav_adder' );

You have to change “members/single/plugins” by the path to your new template file without the .php extention.

If you need to check if the action already existe for different purpose (I already need to do something similar) you can use something like this:

if(has_action('name_of_action_to_check_for')) {
	// action exists so execute it
	do_action('name_of_action_to_check_for');
} else {
	// action has not been registered
}

Hope this help 😉

oh hum the default theme maybe you should a open trac ticket on that one? i believe its still being supported even though theme compatibility is the preferred method. anyone know off hand if the BP default theme still comes packaged? haven’t really done a fresh buddypress install since 1.7.

@ubernaut Yes I am using oEmbed. In the default Buddypress theme oEmbeds don’t seem to be responsive so I’m trying to find the best way of doing that. Am having a look at FitVids at the moment as suggested here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/fitvids-js-and-bp-ajax/

Hi, i also get the following error message : org.xmlrpc.android.XMLRPCExption: xmlpull.v1? XmlpullParserExeption unexpected type (position END_DOCUMENT null@1:1 in java.io. InputStreamReader@…
I tested direct access to the xmlrpc page. It works. The website is tiing.fr.
Thanks for your help.

Check the codex docs for guides, this one is probably what you need to be working with, same loop as in groups/single/members.php:

@jschodde
This plugin is not tagged BuddyPress so I think it would be more appropriate to post it on the authors support forum here:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-wp-security
Maybe ask the author to update it for use with BP and tag it appropriately afterwards.

@speedysnail6 deactivate BuddyPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme, then check if registration works. Where are you hosted?

@barronlau “Blog Details: I’d like to add new site” shows up for multisite installations if you did not remove that option for a user to create a blog in your site.

Go to My Sites > Network Admin > Dashboard. Then go to Settings > Network Settings –> Registration Settings, then only choose User accounts may be registered.

To customize what’s going to show up on your registration https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

@wyldesites I just set up a new installation WP 3.6 and BP 1.8.1 and registration with activation email is working.

– Check server email configuration – if you deactivate BuddyPress, does the registration process work for you? Where are you hosted?

– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme. If all’s well, then activate theme. If user can register, then could be one of the plugins. Activate plugins batch by batch while testing to check which is interfering with registration/activation.
